Meet The Team - Tom Krüger

‍‍

Welcome back to #TeamTuesday at WENZEL Group. For this week's interview, we have Tom Kruger from Sales & Service Support. Tom is one of our newest team members and recently completed his first year at WENZEL . Let's hear what he has to say!

Hi Tom and thanks for being with us today!

Hey, I'm happy to be here!

Let's start by you telling us what your first year at WENZEL was like?

I'll be honest - it couldn't have been better. I'm doing exactly what I imagined, and not everyone can say that at the beginning of their career. In the meantime, I've got a good idea of what working life is like at WENZEL - the family atmosphere is just one of the benefits of being here.

That makes me very happy! Where did you work before joining WENZEL ?

Many thanks for that! I started my career as an apprentice at a mechanical engineering company and then worked in the assembly team in production. After that, I completed a 2-year further training course to become a state-certified technician for mechanical engineering in Aschaffenburg and, after another but short stopover at my previous employer, I ended up here at WENZEL .

How would you describe your day-to-day work at WENZEL and how does it differ from your previous activities?

My daily work consists of being the interface between WENZEL and the customer. I am the first point of contact for everything that arises internally in our processes or when coordination with the customer is necessary. Otherwise, every day is different for me. Other tasks during my work include preparing calculations, providing support when clarification is needed, or looking after customers when they attend presentations here in Wiesthal.

In contrast to my previous work, which was mainly of a manual nature, at WENZEL I get to pursue a job in the office, where I have a lot of contact with our Asian colleagues in particular.

We ask everyone this question and are always happy to hear the answer - How is your relationship with your colleagues?

I would describe my relationship with my colleagues as more than good. We support each other and are also up for a little fun now and then. I think that makes for a very good working atmosphere. What you definitely notice is that WENZEL is like a family.

We expected nothing less from your answer! Do you see yourself working and growing at WENZEL in the near future?

As for my near future, I'm currently focusing on WENZEL and trying to learn more every day - I've only been here a year. I may eventually dedicate myself to further training and, should that be the case, I hope to bring my knowledge and newly learned skills to WENZEL .

That's great! Tell us something about yourself outside of your professional life - what do you like to do in your free time?

My biggest interest outside of my professional life is certainly sports. You can often find me in the gym. Otherwise, I do what every young person does - spend time with friends, travel and go out partying from time to time.

Wonderful! Tom, thank you so much for taking the time for this interview. It was great to learn so many things about you.
